How do I report a sudden bill increase?

Open the app, select the bill, choose Raise Dispute, attach photos if needed, and submit. DEWA replies within five working days.

Does the app show real-time water and electricity usage?

Hourly readings appear for smart-meter properties. Older meters update daily after the midnight reading.

DEWA App: Features, Pay Bill, and Reduce Usage

Download and set up the DEWA app

Download the official DEWA app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Register with your Emirates ID, mobile number, and DEWA account number. Once verified, add multiple properties under one login and receive push notifications for bills, outages, and service updates.

Paying your bill in seconds

Open the app, select the property, and choose Pay Now. Pay with debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, or link your bank account. A typical one-bedroom apartment bill in Dubai runs AED 250-450 per month. The app shows due date, previous balance, and any government fees such as the 5 percent VAT. Schedule recurring payments to avoid late fees of AED 20 plus 1.5 percent monthly interest.

Track usage with smart meter data

Smart meters send hourly readings to the app. View daily, weekly, or monthly graphs and compare with the same period last year. The app flags unusual spikes and suggests actions such as replacing old AC filters or adjusting thermostat settings by two degrees. High-usage alerts appear when daily consumption exceeds your set limit.

Reduce consumption and lower costs

Set a monthly target in the Goals section and track progress in real time.
Use the appliance calculator to estimate running costs of AC units, fridges, and water heaters.
Enrol in DEWA's Shams Dubai solar programme directly in the app if your villa has roof space.
Request a free energy audit for buildings over 500 square metres.

Users who followed the app's recommendations reported average savings of AED 80-120 per month in 2025.

File complaints and request services

Submit meter complaints, report leaks, or request new connections through the Service Requests menu. Track status with reference numbers and expected resolution times. For urgent water leaks, call 800-DEWA (3392) after logging the ticket. Most meter disputes are resolved within five working days.
